Lee's Brokeback Mountain last Saturday, Chow was quoted as saying to
Lin: "We haven't worked together for 20 years. When will we work
together again and make a movie?"
She replied: "Let's not wait. Let's start shooting soon. I
can't wait another 20 years, because if I do, I won't get to be lead
actress."
